Euthanasia Video Documentary / On The Life of Terri Schiavo

Euthanasia Video Documentary / On The Life of Terri Schiavo. Documentary type slide show about Terri Schiavo. Photos of Terri, family, friends and supporters. Created the evening of Terri's passing. According to the 1980 declaration from the Vatican, Jura et Bona, "euthanasia", or "mercy killing" is defined as "an action or an omission which of itself or by intention causes death, in order that all suffering may in this way be eliminated." Our country is on a collision course with euthanasia. Think about the issue now, and work to change the course, or else you may end up a victim of it. "Mercy killing". I do not see what killing has to do with mercy. What I do see is that those who advocate it have a MISPLACED compassion. They want to eliminate all suffering. Very nice, but very unrealistic...and also very pagan. I ask you readers who are Christian, is all suffering meaningless? Does it have no value at all, no purpose? I do not wish suffering on anyone. But when it comes, is our only response to be to eliminate it, even to the point of euthanasia? You tell me whether this is the Christian gospel! Was the suffering of Christ meaningless? Or do we not say, "We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, for BY YOUR HOLY CROSS You have redeemed the world."? Did He not tell His followers to embrace the cross? Do we not join our pain to His to save souls? Even from a secular viewpoint, does not suffering provide an occasion to grow in wisdom, character, and compassion? The push for mercy killing is utterly pagan. Christian and all reasonable people must oppose it. The core evil of euthanasia is that an individual or group of people think they have the right to put someone else to death. "Killing a human being" is not a very nice concept. To make it more acceptable, therefore some people start playing with the language. They say, for example, that the one who is incurably ill or comatose is a "vegetable". A vegetable? What kind? A cucumber? Carrot? NO MATTER WHAT THE AILMENT HE/SHE SUFFERS FROM, A HUMAN BEING IS ALWAYS HUMAN, AND ALWAYS HAS A RIGHT TO LIFE WHICH NOBODY, OF ANY PHILOSOPHICAL, POLITICAL, OR RELIGIOUS PERSUASION EVER IS ABLE TO TAKE AWAY. In fact, it is precisely when life is afflicted by weakness and illness that it is all the MORE deserving of our care. Remember the song, "He Ain't Heavy; He's My Brother". Advocates of euthanasia do not see the ill this way, but only as a burden. God forgive them. And how about you? Those who push euthanasia (the killing of the seriously ill by act or omission) are all around. Have you met them? Have you heard them on TV and read their articles? If not, the time has come to be aware that they are on the march with their ungodly, death-dealing philosophy, trying to carve it into law. Central to their utterly false philosophy is the notion that some lives are NOT WORTH LIVING. These lives, they maintain, are more trouble than they are worth. They have too much suffering, and are too much of a burden on the resources of society. You know, if we were talking about a car, or a typewriter, or some other THING, we could say that when enough things go wrong with it, it becomes more trouble than it's worth. Repairs would be too costly, too involved. Throw it out and get a new one. But we cannot apply this mindset to HUMAN PERSONS. A person is never more trouble than he/she is worth. Notice, we do not use the pronoun "it" to refer to a human being. There's a reason for that. A person is not a "thing", an "it", an object whose value is to be calculated on some kind of economic cost/benefit analysis scale. A person is worth more than the ENTIRE PHYSICAL UNIVERSE! Ponder that. Human life is of INFINITE VALUE, and this remains true no matter how small, weak, incommunicative, disabled, diseased, or "unproductive" (in the eyes of a materialistic, consumerist society like ours) it may be.

Passion killing or euthanasia is an dangerous idea and should never be a loved, because it is, in reality impossible to administer. In a time of economic crisis, massive cut down on the public health care sector, hospitals, euthanasia will be misused on patients that is regarded as not valuable on the labour market, especially old people will be “euthanized” by the doctors for economic and resource viewpoints. But also long time unemployed, people on sick pensions, homeless and groups a like.

@vkonej - thank you for your excellent comments!

It was time for her soul to move on. Terri needed to go.

[rosaryfilms]

hadenough101, it is okay then for another human to determine when it is your time to "move on"?

[PogueMoran]

She did not kiss her mother where is there video where you can see actual motor control related to this during the late years of her being in PVS. There isn't any. She didn't respond to a balloon the camera was zoomed in so far that if you look carefully the balloon is following her eye movements not the other way around. In the open your eyes video they said it to her for minutes on end and then cut the video to one of the instances she opened her eyes. She only had her brain stem left

I don't understand why her parents would try to keep her alive in this state. It's fucking sick how people can be so selfish that they have to cling to an empty shell of a person just because they don't have the emotional and mental fortitude to LET GO. She died. Yet her body was forcibly kept alive in a state that wasn't even lucid. Criminals that commit unspeakable acts of violence and terror don't even have to suffer this, but Terry, an innocent woman does, and at the behest of her family

@hadenough101 Get real. This was predictive programing propaganda for the soon-to-come socialized health care that was sure-to-wait until after the bailout-the-rich guys. The next economic bubble will be life insurance policies on us. Read Eric Holgren's "Ecoscience."

"Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, health adviser to President Barack Obama, is under scrutiny. As a bioethicist, he has written extensively about who should get medical care, who should decide, and whose life is worth saving. "

Galates 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is the charity, the enjoyment, the peace, a patient spirit, the kindness, the bénéficence, the loyalty, the sweetness, the total abstinence .

[notredame2lux]

Sometimes there's some better things than a life: Dignity! specially for a woman! DIGNITY is not distingued by body, but by the spirit that incarned in that body. some people incarne in the human body not as angel, but as evil. they dont have respect for the person of an individual who represented the image of god. They are evil, vicious, inside, never discovering and experience the real objectif of life. Keeping on hypocrisie, their bestial MENTALLITY would like to use people like PUPPET.

@SuperHeroMan411 And the worst part is her family was PRAISED by religious groups. Religion is truly a mental illness.

[sarah4hp]

I very strongly disagree with you. Every human being has the right to life, and no one should ever have their life taken from them against their will, but... this is something else. Every human being also has the right to choose to end their life in a situation where death and/or imense suffering is their only other option. They have a right to end things on their own terms, with their head held high and their dignity intact, and NO ONE has the right to deny them that if psychologically stable.

[lugervon]

I work in healthcare...with everything that I see and continue to see...I feel that we should have the right to choose death over life. I would!!

[buggerbilly]

Maybe we should euthanise the religious zealots who are quite obviously mentally ill.

[GhostWritersDragon]

@Laurisa718 Amen to that! I'd crawl on my tongue to kill myself before I ever allowed myself to live like that!

[Laurisa718]

I never want to be kept alive like this. LET ME GO!
